The mystery of what Josiah and Lauren named their Baby E has been solved. It's Ezra. Lauren also has another sibling that was born in the last few years. Per Fundie Wiki, they were probably born sometime after 2019 and their name is Dallas.

But how would that work? Anna gets the reports and it’s her job to stop Josh from using porn/child porn but also she is to dutifully serve him and he has the final say? Either she has authority or she doesn’t.

I think that Anna got the covenant eyes reports, and they were likely all pretty benign, as Josh knew enough to partition the drive and get around the monitoring.

Also, this is Anna here. The one who ran around wondering where the "vibrator" was, right? When they couldn't find the baby bouncer? And seemed to have not one clue. So even if there was something questionable in Josh's reports, with it blurred out for her would she have recognized it? Josh probably knew exactly how far he could push on the regular web that would manage to either skate by the monitoring or be easy to mislead a naive Anna about. And once he had the dark web partition set up, that was no longer an issue anyway. Anything questionable pops up on the report, Josh just says "Oh, it was a strange ad that popped up one day" or "one of the employees must have looked at that" or "oh, how funny! That was a photo of a supercar and the software must have thought it was a person!"

He says he hates pain, that he has to watch his wife experience pain daily, and that, while he never heard her say it himself, his sister told him that their mother, with her health issues, sometimes said, "if this is all life is about, ah'd as soon just dah."

He never heard it because he was gallivanting around the country living in hotel rooms and church basements telling other people how to live, likely while his sister did much of the helping and caring. 

I was thinking that as I heard him say it, and hoped someone would notice and post that thought.

Between their culture of women being expected to serve cheerfully and what little we've seen of her personality, Sheila may not have complained to Gary even when he was visiting. She may have been the type to  only express any concerns or discomfort to other women.

I doubt JB would have expected Josh to be looking at CSAM.  Like many of us, he probably believed the violation of his sisters was a crime of opportunity, not true preference.  I didn't fall out of my chair in shock or anything when it came out, but I hadn't assumed he was a pedophile based on his actions when he was a teenager.

And Anna could only get the reports if there was something to report - he may have set up a partition immediately since he was always into computers and she never got any notifications anything was amiss.

My favorite thing about her latest treasure and IG is that she made a big deal about her find, and fashion-scraped the visible parts of the piece… and then someone asked about seeing the inside, and AH had to admitted that she hadn't cleaned the inside of it- she opened the door and there was dust and crap inside. THIS sums up Abbie, perfectly. She’s a superficial show with nothing of substance underneath, and is lazy AF. Clean the damn thing out before you take to the gram for attention.
